Late to the party here but ran across this thread searching for TV antenna advice. Just wanted to add that a straight wire in the attic makes a pretty good AM antenna. It's most sensitive in the direction perpendicular to the wire. You do need a good ground too.
I think what fixmeplease is talking about is a 'loop' antenna. I have an old article somewhere for "The AM Super Loop" which was a diamond shaped wood frame this guy hung from the ceiling of his radio room (or attic) on a rotatable mounting so he could point it in any direction.
I'm sure some of the antenna websites have DIY designs and something should fit your situation. Noise is rampant on the AM band these days though. Watch out for fluorescents, dimmers, computers, TV cable equipment, etc. etc. If you get a lot of noise try turning things off that you aren't using.
